A refuse firm hired to spearhead Glasgow’s new glass recycling scheme has been dropped just a week after the launch of the city’s latest “green” initiative.
Lancashire-based Enterprise was axed after it failed to provide enough wagons and workers to empty tens of thousands of new purple bins given to householders to dispose of empty bottles, jars and other glasswear.
The city council awarded a five-year, £287,000-a-year contract to Viridor, which then appointed Enterprise to empty 107,000 bins across Glasgow.
